Is Dallas Goedert Playing Today Against The Bears?
Goedert has been stuck on injured reserve since suffering a shoulder injury against the Washington Commanders in Week 10. While the Philadelphia Eagles have continued rolling to victories in his absence, Goedert is a key piece of this Philly offense.
His 21-day practice window was activated earlier this week and Goedert returned to Eagles' practice on Wednesday. Despite the tight end's positive progress, Philly has decided to play it safe with their prized offensive weapon. The Eagles elected not to activate Goedert for this week's game against the Chicago Bears.
Dallas Goedert Fantasy Football Outlook
Goedert's fantasy managers that are participating in their league playoffs this week will likely be disappointed with Philadelphia's decision to give Goedert more time to recover. That said, the 12-1 Eagles likely saw little need to rush back their star TE against the lowly Chicago Bears.
The smart money is on a Week 16 return for Goedert. That would be a Christmas Eve matchup with the rival Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy GMs with Goedert on their rosters have held out this long, so they should try to stay patient for one more week. If Goedert is active against Dallas on Christmas Eve, he would return to lock-and-load TE1 status.
